1031 into another property vs investing profits in syndications

[Colton Hahn]

Hey all,

I wanted to start a discussion on here based on a conversation I had with an investor this morning. He will be liquidating all of his properties and had questions about 1031 exchange vs investing into our latest syndication offering. His investable capital after selling will be around 1-1.2m. 

I feel like sometimes we, as people, get so fixated on the known, easy solution we lose sight of what we set out to do in the first place, which is maximize returns not only in the short term but the long term as well. 

Ultimately he chose to invest with us, and it was such a great conversation I wanted to hear other's point of views on this. 

What are your thoughts on 1031 exchange into different properties vs taking the profits and putting it with a syndicator?
